Chapter 1025: Former Best Friend
Yuan Ming left the Shura Palace and came to the secret room outside.
His spiritual sense spread out, instantly covering the entire Fire Wolf Clan territory.
In his perception, every demon of the Fire Wolf Clan was clearly visible, including the two sixth-level demons.
At this moment, they were practicing in seclusion in their respective places of practice, and they all condensed several Dao seals on their bodies, emitting waves of Dao power.
Yuan Ming's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong murderous intent surged in his heart.
He wanted to kill the two demons, take their Dao seals, and feed them to the Hunyuan Dao Seal.
"Yuan boy, control your mind!" At this moment, Kong's voice suddenly sounded, echoing in Yuan Ming's heart like a huge bell.
Yuan Ming's body shook and his eyes regained clarity.
He asked in a daze: "What happened to me just now?"
"Your mind was controlled by the Hunyuan Dao Seal." Kong's voice sounded again, and his figure also appeared in the nearby void.
Yuan Ming heard the words, and his heart was shocked.
"Although the Hunyuan Daoyin is powerful and can plunder other people's Daoyin magical powers, the more powerful the magical powers are, the more difficult it is to control. The Hunyuan Daoyin is full of the killing intent of the Heavenly Dao. I have seen countless magical powers in the world, and no one can surpass it in terms of killing intent. You must be careful and cautious when using it in the future, always pay attention to your state, and don't let it control your mind." Kong said with a very solemn expression.
After hearing this, Yuan Ming felt a little scared.
He recalled the scene just now, and he was indeed affected by the killing intent of the Hunyuan Daoyin, and almost made a wrong decision.
"I know, thank you for reminding me." Yuan Ming took a deep breath and calmed his inner fluctuations.
Kong nodded and disappeared in a flash.
Yuan Ming was silent for a moment, and then his figure turned into a golden light and flew away.
Soon, he came to the top of a mountain outside the territory of the Fire Wolf Clan.
There is a quiet courtyard here, which is where Di Huo lives.
At this moment, the courtyard is empty, and Di Huo is not here.
Yuan Ming spread his spiritual sense and soon found the study.
He pushed the door open and saw several large bookshelves in the study, which were filled with all kinds of books.
The corners of many books were slightly curled up, obviously the owner often read them.
In the middle of the study was a mahogany desk, on which there were no books, only a piece of white paper.
A smiley face was painted on the paper with thick ink.
The ink had not yet dried, obviously it was just painted not long ago.
"Could it be that Di Huo had known about my arrival and left this painting on purpose to provoke me?" Yuan Ming frowned slightly, his spiritual sense was like waves, carefully exploring every corner of the courtyard, but he did not find any valuable clues.
The aura in the courtyard was completely wiped out, as if it was a piece of untouched pure land, with no trace to be found.
Yuan Ming was not surprised. He closed his eyes and concentrated, and operated the Eye of Samsara. He saw a golden light shooting out from his eyebrows and gently falling on the white paper.
The Eye of Samsara can not only peek into the secrets of the monks, but also trace the past of the objects.
In Yuan Ming's sea of consciousness, pictures gradually emerged, showing the birth, circulation, and the whole process of this white paper falling into Di Huo's hands.
Yuan Ming continued to explore in depth, and the pictures quickly flowed and froze in the scene not long ago.
Di Huo was sitting in the house, writing something attentively. Suddenly, he raised his head and looked into the distance, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then, he took out the white paper and drew a smiley face lightly.
"It seems that Di Huo did notice my arrival, but how did he know it?" Yuan Ming was full of doubts.
From the picture, Di Huo did not perform any secret techniques of exploration, and this person's cultivation was mediocre. If he used divine consciousness to explore, Yuan Ming was confident that he could easily detect it.
The picture continued to flow. After Di Huo finished drawing the smiley face, he pinched his hands and his whole body suddenly ignited with gray flames.
The flames burned fiercely, as if to devour everything, and Di Huo's skin also melted rapidly in the flames, finally revealing another face.
Yuan Ming was so familiar with that face, it was his former best friend.
Little Emperor Liu Tianming!
Yuan Ming's body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, and his heart was struck by lightning.
"Di Huo, it's Liu Tianming! How could Liu Tianming be involved with the Demon Realm?" Yuan Ming's heart was surging, and his thoughts were in a mess.
Thinking back to the time when the Demon Realm and the Yunhuang Alliance fought, Liu Tianming mysteriously disappeared. Could it be that he was abducted by the Demon Realm at that time?
Liu Tianming's cultivation talent was mediocre, why did the Demon Realm abduct him?
Yuan Ming took a deep breath, barely calmed down, flashed into the Shura Palace, took out the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, lit the black incense, and tried to possess Liu Tianming.
However, this possession ended in failure.
"How could this be? Could it be that Liu Tianming's spiritual power is superior to mine?" Yuan Ming frowned, and his doubts became heavier.
Judging from the current situation, Liu Tianming is no longer the Liu Tianming of the past.
Yuan Ming was silent for a moment, and decided not to continue the investigation, but to leave Shura Palace and head straight for Wan Yao Ridge.
Two days later, Yuan Ming returned to Wan Yao Ridge.
Wu Yu was shocked to learn that the three demon kings and the Lord of Samsara had all fallen at the hands of Yuan Ming. She was even more in awe of Yuan Ming.
She took the initiative to take out a large number of supplies as compensation for her previous negligence.
Yuan Ming naturally would not refuse such a good thing, and accepted these supplies without hesitation and put them all into the sacrifice of Shura Palace.
He also plundered a lot of resources from the three people, the Lord of Samsara, Yanli, and Yulin. Together with the compensation from the Ten Thousand Monsters Country, it was enough to raise the power of the Shura Palace to a higher level.
Yuan Ming did not stay in the Ten Thousand Monsters Ridge for long and left the place soon.
Wu Yu watched Yuan Ming's escape light gradually go away, with a complicated expression.
Dayi Liuliyan did not stay in the Ten Thousand Monsters Ridge, but chose to follow Yuan Ming.
Without the protection of Dayi Liuliyan, the strength of the Ten Thousand Monsters Country was undoubtedly weakened.
Fortunately, the strength of the three tribes including the Fire Wolf Clan was not as strong as before, and the situation in the Ten Thousand Monsters Country would be stable for a long time.
…
Two years later, in Fengguo, Zhongzhou Continent, the Lingqi Mountains stood tall.
This mountain range was as red as fire, like the blood of the earth. The water of the lakes and rivers in it was also red, emitting a strong iron smell, which was frightening.
The iron ore, copper ore and metal veins in Lingqi Mountains are extremely rich, which are rare treasures in the world. However, these veins are intertwined and difficult to mine, so few people dare to set foot in them.
Because of the metal veins, the magnetic force in the mountains is surging, disturbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making the climate here extremely bad, with wind, rain and thunder all year round, as if the wrath of God is constantly coming.
Deep in the mountains, dark clouds are densely covered, thousands of miles in radius, like ink and charcoal, and thunder is rolling, deafening.
The dazzling lightning is like a dragon coming out of the sea, and it strikes the ground from time to time, instantly burning the ground black, as if the end of the world is coming.
In the core of the mountain range, on the top of a towering mountain, Yuan Ming, King Kong and Zong Hong stood side by side, their eyes all focused on the air.
I saw thick lightning rushing from all directions, forming a lightning area of hundreds of feet in radius, with a huge momentum and shocking people.
In the lightning area, a huge purple-black bird could be vaguely seen, swallowing and spitting out lightning, with overwhelming power.
The occasional half claws it showed were all wrapped in dazzling lightning, like a divine bird controlling lightning, which was awe-inspiring.
"Master, do you think Lei Yu can successfully break through this time?" King Kong asked in a deep voice, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Hearing this, Zong Hong also cast his eyes on Yuan Ming, with a flash of expectation in his eyes.
Yuan Ming's eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate the lightning, looking directly at the purple-black bird flapping its wings and soaring, and slowly said:
"It's not a big problem. Lei Yu's accumulation has long been enough. Now with the help of fellow Taoist Zong Hong, the power of the bloodline has been stimulated. As long as he can survive this process of lightning and forging, the sixth level is just around the corner."
Hearing this, Zong Hong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She has entered the Dark Moon Sect and has become a Taoist partner with Lei Yu, so she is considered a member of Yuan Ming's camp.
She knew that she had not yet gained Yuan Ming's full trust. Helping Lei Yu break through the sixth level was her token of loyalty.
If Lei Yu failed to break through, her life would be difficult.
"That's great. If he doesn't break through again, we will leave him behind." King Kong said with a smile, his voice full of heroism.
Although King Kong was the same as before, his aura became heavier. Standing there, he looked like a towering mountain, which was daunting.
In the past two years, he had been helped by the Great Sun Liuliyan, and had broken through the realm of the immortal body. His violent blood magic had also condensed into a seal, and his strength had greatly increased.
Just as the three were talking, the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly stirred up, and dozens of thick lightning bolts fell from the sky and struck the peak.
Two of the lightning bolts happened to sweep over the three people.
Zong Hong's whole body was flashing with lightning, and he easily blocked the lightning.
Yuan Ming's body was lit up with seven colors of light. As soon as the lightning approached his body, it was automatically absorbed and used for his own purposes.
As for King Kong, he stood with his hands behind his back. The lightning swept through his body, but it was like hitting the air, passing through his body without causing any harm to him.
He was originally a white ape in the demon world, and his physical body was extremely powerful. Now with the blessing of the "violent blood" magical power, his strength has reached an astonishing level.
Even when facing a Dharma-phase cultivator, he can be fearless and even win in one battle.
"The demon race is really unique in physical cultivation." Yuan Ming's eyes swept over King Kong's body, and then looked up at the sky.
The thunderclouds in the sky rolled more and more violently, and more and more lightning gathered. The lightning area in the sky continued to expand, and soon covered half of the sky.
Time passed little by little, and soon another half an hour passed.
At this moment, the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth within a radius of a thousand miles was suddenly aroused, surging like a tide, and continuously poured into the area of thunder and lightning.
A sharp long cry pierced through the clouds, shaking the surrounding areas.
A figure shot out from the lightning area. It was Lei Yu who had just broken through.
At this moment, Lei Yu's demonic power increased greatly. His body expanded more than twice as much as before. The lightning spirit patterns on his body were dense and complicated, especially on his wings. It seemed that they were covered with two dazzling lightning wings, which was daunting.
